• Anwenn from New York, Nu Anwyn, there definitely is an ' ick" factor. Sadly, this was viewed differently back than, than it would be today. However, I think the song was written as a throwback to early blues songs. You're right about Ainsley. He was into the teenage groupies but he also didn't like the new direction Journey was taking musically and he was deliberately messing up his playing on tour so he was replaced with Steve Smith.
• Lucille from Usa Anwyn, who cares. Its a good song. No 'ick' factor. Go take a nap.
• Samantha from Italy Can't find any of these groupies related story about Journey, I think it only speculations...
• Anwyn from Adelaide, Australia "Jellyroll" apparently refers to very young, probably under the age of consent, groupies and fans. So there's a certain amount of 'ick' factor from today's perspective, when the 70s fashion of rock stars getting into young groupies isn't seen as an acceptable thing any more. Given that his penchant for underage girls was supposedly the reason Ainsley Dunbar was asked to leave, after one close call too many with concerned parents calling the cops (or, according to another story, it was the underage daughter of a town sheriff), this song raises some really uncomfortable speculations.

The Amplifier

A solar eclipse soundtrack.

Songs from TV on the Radio, Brian Eno, Julianna Barwick and others than could well accompany the celestial event on Monday.

• Share full article

By Lindsay Zoladz

Dear listeners,

As you have probably heard, on Monday most people in the United States will be able to witness a solar eclipse that will plunge an ordinary afternoon into otherworldly darkness. Such events require planning. Where are you going to watch the eclipse? Who are you going to watch it with? And, most crucially for Amplifier purposes, what will you listen to during it?

Today’s playlist aims to get you in the mood for this rare cosmic event. It features atmospheric ambient music from Brian Eno and Julianna Barwick as well as ethereal jazz from Alice Coltrane and Amaro Freitas . I also included a few songs that refer to moons and darkness, from Cat Stevens and Will Oldham, a.k.a. Bonnie “Prince” Billy , though I stopped just short of adding Bonnie Tyler ’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart,” because I have at least some restraint.

As far as solar eclipses go, this one is relatively long: Along the totality line , the moon will block out the sun for about four minutes and 28 seconds. A few songs on this playlist run for approximately that duration, so if you press play on, say, Eno’s “An Ending (Ascent)” as soon as the eclipse begins, it can soundtrack the entire experience. If you want to take in the moment in reverent silence, though, I fully support that; this playlist will be here when the eclipse is over, if you want to extend the astronomical vibe. And if you want to spend your eclipse listening to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” ? Well, that’s your decision, not mine.

I do love the feeling of human interconnectedness that occurs during an eclipse, though. There’s something powerful about knowing that millions of people in all sorts of locations will be stopping what they’re doing and perhaps reflecting on the fact that, for all our differences, we’re all living under the same sky. Who knows? Maybe some of us will even be listening to the same music.

I’m being followed by a moonshadow,

Listen along while you read.

1. brian eno: “an ending (ascent)”.

Originally written for the documentary “For All Mankind,” a majestically photographed film about the Apollo space program, the ambient music pioneer Brian Eno ’s “An Ending (Ascent)” has since been used on the soundtracks for plenty of other films, including “Traffic” and “28 Days Later.” It would also be a fitting accompaniment for a solar eclipse, not only because it conjures a feeling of celestial awe, but also because, at four minutes and 26 seconds, it will last roughly the same amount of time as the totality. ▶ Listen on Spotify , Apple Music or YouTube

2. Amaro Freitas featuring Brandee Younger: “Gloriosa”

I’ve been listening quite a bit lately to “Y’Y,” the new album by the sonically adventurous Brazilian jazz pianist Amaro Freitas, whose music is at once traditionally minded and forward-thinking. Here, he is joined by the harpist Brandee Younger, who adds some lunar opalescence to his sound.

▶ Listen on Spotify , Apple Music or YouTube

3. Alice Coltrane featuring Pharoah Sanders: “Journey in Satchidananda”

Alice Coltrane’s luminous harp scatters stardust across this free-form composition — the title track off her great 1971 album — while Pharoah Sanders’s saxophone playing unfurls like one long ribbon of gold. Like much of Coltrane’s work, it’s appropriate music for an encounter with the sublime.

4. Will Oldham: “I See a Darkness”

If you’re looking for a moody and vaguely gothic eclipse soundtrack, I recommend this subtle, stirring ballad by the folk singer-songwriter Will Oldham, who often records as Bonnie “Prince” Billy. Though Johnny Cash popularized the song when he covered it on his 2000 album, “American III: Solitary Man,” I’m partial to the cracked beauty of the original.

5. Cat Stevens: “Moonshadow”

Cat Stevens (now known as Yusuf Islam) said that this song came to him one night on vacation in Spain, when the moon was particularly bright. But, technically, this song’s title could describe a solar eclipse, which occurs, according to NASA , when “the Moon casts a shadow on the Earth, and blocks or partially blocks our view of the Sun.”

6. John Cale: “Big White Cloud”

Though it’s about a different kind of sky phenomenon, everything feels like a slow-motion reverie when this track from John Cale’s 1970 solo debut, “Vintage Violence,” is playing. “The sound of sun, piercing my eyes,” Cale sings. “Everything’s clear, everything’s bright.”

7. TV on the Radio: “Staring at the Sun”

On this single from the 2004 album “Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes,” the Brooklyn band TV on the Radio describes exactly what you should not do during a solar eclipse — unless you have special glasses or a homemade pinhole projector.

8. Julianna Barwick: “Sunlight, Heaven”

Finally, from her dreamlike 2009 EP, “Florine,” Julianna Barwick’s ethereal composition helps you welcome the light back into your life. Here comes the sun indeed!

Homemade Love

Follow 16 fans

Journey is an American rock band formed in 1973 in San Francisco by former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred between 1978 and 1987, after which it temporarily disbanded. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981's "Don't Stop Believin'", which became in 2009 the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band's eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, "Open Arms". Its 1983 follow-up, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band's ap… more »

Io Capitano review – Matteo Garrone’s wrenching migrant drama is unexpectedly beautiful

Seydou Sarr is wonderful as a 16-year-old Senegalese migrant who maintains his empathy and selflessness through a hellish journey to Europe

H ope and fantasy coexist so closely in Io Capitano , Matteo Garrone’s wrenching Oscar-nominated account of the journey of two teenage Senegalese migrants towards a new life in Europe, that you start to wonder if the film is arguing that hope is a fantasy. Whether the better future that tempts 16-year-old Seydou (Seydou Sarr) and his cousin Moussa (Moustapha Fall) on to the perilous trip across the Sahara and the Mediterranean is no more substantial than the mirage of a floating woman that Seydou hallucinates in the desert. But in fact this is a film that, for all its brutal horrors, keeps a kernel of hope and faith in the inherent decency of humankind (or some of it at least).

Central to the spirit of the film is Seydou, a gangly string bean with a smile that warms the screen; a teenager who is still enough of a child to believe that manhood means never being afraid. It’s a gorgeous, sensitive performance from Sarr. Seydou has a purity and innocence as a character, not because of his rose-tinted naivety, but because throughout the journey, and even as his illusions are systematically shattered, he never loses his selflessness and empathy for the others who share his plight. But if Seydou represents all that is good in humanity, there is no shortage of representatives of the darker side of man – at one point Seydou finds himself separated from his cousin and locked in a Libyan prison run by criminals as a torture facility and extortion factory. But Garrone ( Gomorrah , Dogman ) balances the extreme ugliness of this chapter of the story against cinematography that finds unexpected beauty throughout.
